Introduction

An aerobic denitrifier was isolated from the Hua-Jia-Chi pond in China and identified as Pseudomonas mendocina 3-7 (Genbank No. HQ285879). This isolated strain could express periplasmic nitrate reductase which is essential for aerobic denitrification occurred when the dissolved oxygen (DO) level maintains at 3?C10?mg?L?1.

Methods

To determine whether the ability of isolated strain is exhibited in the bioremediation of polluted drinking source water, the heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification characteristics of P. mendocina 3-7 under different cultural conditions such as oxygen level, nitrate and organic concentrations were studied from the nitrogenous balance in the paper.

Results and conclusions

By measuring the nitrogen balance in all experiments under different culture conditions, the removal of total organic carbon and ammonium was positively correlated with total nitrogen removal, especially under high substrate level. With substrate concentration decreasing, ammonium and nitrate removal occurred separately, and ammonium was completely utilized first under low substrate concentration. Compared to that under high substrate level, the specific growth rate of P. mendocina 3-7 was not low under the low substrate level and the pollutant removal efficiencies remained high, which implies the stronger nitrogen removal and acclimatization capacities of the strain in oligotrophic niches.  相似文献

Chemical actinometry was used to measure nitrate photolysis rate coefficients, JNO3, on and in snowpack at Summit, Greenland. Sealed glass tubes containing nitrate and a hydroxyl radical trapping system were buried in snow and exposed for between 2 and 24 h. Average JNO3 values for 2-h midday exposures in early June on surface snow were 10–14×10−7 s−1. Averages over 24 h were 3.5–4.5×10−7 s−1. These values reflect the integrated photon flux and also any variation of the nitrate photolysis rate with temperature. Attenuation of JNO3 within the firn was 0.03–0.04 cm−1 for 24-h exposures and 0.08 cm−1 for a 2-h exposure. Different attenuation coefficients may relate to differential light penetration due to changes in sun angle over the course of 24 h.  相似文献

Purpose

The major aromatic constituents of petroleum products viz. benzene, toluene, and mixture of xylenes (BTX) are responsible for environmental pollution and inflict serious public concern. Therefore, BTX biodegradation potential of individual as well as formulated bacterial consortium was evaluated. This study highlighted the role of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitrate, and phosphate in stimulating the biodegradation of BTX compounds under hypoxic condition.

Materials and methods

The individual bacterium viz. Bacillus subtilis DM-04 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa M and NM strains and a consortium comprising of the above bacteria were inoculated to BTX-containing liquid medium and in soil. The bioremediation experiment was carried out for 120?h in BTX-containing liquid culture and for 90?days in BTX-contaminated soil. The kinetics of BTX degradation either in presence or absence of H2O2, nitrate, and phosphate was analyzed using biochemical and gas chromatographic (GC) technique.

Results

Bacterial consortium was found to be superior in degrading BTX either in soil or in liquid medium as compared to degradation of same compounds by individual strains of the consortium. The rate of BTX biodegradation was further enhanced when the liquid medium/soil was exogenously supplemented with 0.01?% (v/v) H2O2, phosphate, and nitrate. The GC analysis of BTX biodegradation (90?days post-inoculation) in soil by bacterial consortium confirmed the preferential degradation of benzene compared to m-xylene and toluene.

Conclusions

It may be concluded that the bacterial consortium in the present study can degrade BTX compounds at a significantly higher rate as compared to the degradation of the same compounds by individual members of the consortium. Further, addition of H2O2 in the culture medium as an additional source of oxygen, and nitrate and phosphate as an alternative electron acceptor and macronutrient, respectively, significantly enhanced the rate of BTX biodegradation under oxygen-limited condition.  相似文献

Aerosol concentrations of carbonaceous material, sulfate, and nitrate for samples obtained using a newly designed PC-BOSS are reported. The results indicated that PM2.5 composition in Atlanta was dominated by sulfate and organic material, with low concentrations of particulate nitrate. Observed average particulate component concentrations for the 26-day study period were: sulfate, 12.2 μg/m3 (17.0 μg/m3 as ammonium sulfate); non-volatile organic material, 11.4 μg OM/m3 (assumes organic material, OM, is 61% C); semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) lost from particles during sampling, 5.3 μg OM/m3; filter retained nitrate, 0.1 μg/m3 (0.2 μg/m3 as ammonium nitrate); nitrate lost from particles, 0.3 μg/m3 (0.4 μg/m3 as ammonium nitrate); and soot (elemental carbon), 1.5 μg/m3. The PC-BOSS particle concentrator efficiency was obtained by comparison of the PC-BOSS sulfate data with sulfate data obtained from the Federal Reference Method (FRM) sampler. A modification of the PC-BOSS design to allow independent determination of this parameter is recommended.  相似文献

An instrument was developed for semi-continuous measurement of the size-distribution of submicron nitrate, ammonium, sulphate and chloride. Novel in the instrumentation is the size-classification, which is realised with a pre-separator that consists of a set of four parallel impactors. The cut-off diameters of the impactors are at 0.18, 0.32, 0.56 and 1.0 μm. Aerosols smaller than the associated cut-off size pass the respective impactor and arrive in the detector. The manifold with impactors contains two additional lines, one open line and one containing a filter that removes all aerosols. This latter line provides an on-line field-blank. The sample air-flow is automatically switched by wide-bore ball valves to one of the six sampling lines for a period of 20 min; a measuring cycle thus takes 2 h.Down-stream of the pre-separator the sampling and automated on-line analysis of the transmitted aerosol is accomplished with a “MARGA”. In this instrument steam condensation is used to grow the aerosol. The droplets formed are collected in a cyclone that drains to wet-chemical analysis systems. A wet-denuder between pre-separator and collector removes interfering gases, like nitric acid and ammonia. This enables artefact-free and thus representative semi-continuous measurement of the size-distribution of the semi-volatile (ammonium) nitrate.The novel MARGA-sizer was first used in a 1 week field-test. After modifications it was then deployed in a monitoring campaign of 2 months in the summer of 2002, at the top level of the meteo-tower of Cabauw in the centre of the Netherlands. The high location, 200 m, was chosen to obtain data on ammonium nitrate that are minimally affected by surface emissions of ammonia. The data coverage over the period was over 60%; failure of the instrumentation was mainly associated with spells of extreme solar heating of the tower and associated high temperatures inside.The average concentration of nitrate was 2.6 μg m−3, which was very similar to the value interpolated from data in the national network. The mass concentration of submicron nitrate was 2.0 μg m−3, of which 46% was in particles smaller than 0.32 μm. To put this in perspective: the concentration of submicron sulphate was similar to that of nitrate, while 53% was in particles smaller than 0.32 μm. The ion balance showed that the compounds were present as the fully neutralised salts. Quite large diurnal variations were observed for nitrate, with a surprising maximum in the afternoon. The size-distribution of the semi-volatile nitrate was rather constant over a daily cycle.  相似文献

During the course of one year (March 2004–March 2005), PM2.5 particulate nitrate concentrations were semi-continuously measured every 10 min at a Madrid suburban site using the Rupprecht and Patashnick Series 8400N Ambient Particulate Nitrate Monitor (8400N). Gaseous pollutants (NO, NO2, O3, HCHO, HNO2) were simultaneously measured with a DOAS spectrometer (OPSIS AR-500) and complementary meteorological information was obtained by a permanent tower. The particulate nitrate concentrations ranged from the instrumental detection limit of around 0.2 μg m−3, up to a maximum of about 25 μg m−3. The minimum monthly average was reached during August (0.32 μg m−3) and the maximum during November (3.0 μg m−3). Due to the semi-volatile nature of ammonium nitrate, peaks were hardly present during summer air pollution episodes. A typical pattern during days with low dispersive conditions was characterized by a steep rise of particulate nitrate in the morning, reaching maximum values between 9 and 14 UTC, followed by a decrease during the evening. On some occasions a light increase was observed at nighttime. During spring episodes, brief diurnal nitrate peaks were recorded, while during the autumn and winter episodes, later and broader nitrate peaks were registered. Analysis of particulate nitrate and related gaseous species indicated the photo-chemical origin of the morning maxima, delayed with respect to NO and closely associated with secondary NO2 maximum values. The reverse evolution of nitrate and nitrous acid was observed after sunrise, suggesting a major contribution from HNO2 photolysis to OH formation at this time of the day, which would rapidly produce nitrate in both gaseous and particulate phase. Some nocturnal nitrate maxima appeared under high humidity conditions, and a discussion about their origin involving different possible mechanisms is presented, i.e. the possibility that these nocturnal maximum values could be related to the heterogeneous formation of nitrous and nitric acid by the hydrolysis of NO2 on wet aerosols.  相似文献
